News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Vinnie Mac]

Don't know if anyone would care but I randomly decided to do some math and found out that you could ride the TTA Peoplemover roughly 214,728 times from the start of TRON's construction until now and the ride still ain't completed. This means you could pass by the construction site 214,728 times on TTA and still not see the finished result!

Are you including the breakdown every 11 minutes?

WDI with a new close-up video -

*Edited to add a new link as Disney deleted and reposted -

She saw the original Tron Shanghai when she was 8 and joined the intern team when she was 12. She's now 35 and almost done working on a clone of a pre designed roller coaster that's taken half a decade to build.
Glad she's excited, hopefully she'll see the finished product before she cashes out her Disney 401k.

Wait what-

That would certainly put a dent in those calculations, LOL

Wait what-

Glad I wasn’t the only one confused by that timeline. Groundbreaking on Shanghai DL was 10 years ago, I was wondering how she saw it 27 years ago, maybe they meant the movie rather than the ride?

Yeah I'm sure they meant the movie lol. I had to do a lot of mental gymnastics to try to comprehend that timeline

And the covid shutdown and the TTA shut for "repairs". You couldn't hit 200K even if you tried. Now maybe 150K views? Sure slam dunk

Tbf I did do my calculations assuming COVID never happened and the repairs didn't take so long. Could've included those factors but I was too lazy lol. Still wild that you could pass by the construction site that many times on the TTA and still never see the finished product.

But what if that is the attraction - eternally building Tron. Sounds like it is ripe for "storytelling"

I am assuming it was a joke since she doesn't mention the age she was when she saw it in Shanghai.

Wait what-

It was a joke on how long its taken to build. Not a linear timeline based on the enthusiastic imagineers age.

Thank you, that is correct.

The poor logistics of the entry path and the long skinny tunnel for the train are just more evidence of how this project was just dropped down somewhere it could physically fit. It wasn’t carefully designed to fit here.

I prefer to call that "roller coaster tycooning it".

Just think how many times you could have rode Shanghai Tron in that time.

It does look like a recolor of the second piece of art we received. But if that tunnel is indeed what they go with... I just had a thought. You know what would go with the neons of the attraction and be an easy homage to avoid a simple dark tunnel?

 

[JenniferS]

Brayden uploaded a video where he shows two nice pieces of “concept art” we haven’t seen before. Not sure if these were made by the company or by fans but I like the color scheme.

Wow, that really helped connect the dots for me.
Thank you for sharing.

Great job, Brayden.

I think the blue rim but especially the tint on the underside of the canopy looks nice in Shanghai, does anyone care that that’s missing? Of course we’ll have to see how it comes together but I’m worried they managed to build a worse version of it here.
